As for caffeine taken in moderation and its effect on the average person its debatable. For you with your condition you should drink red bush tea from South Africa, it is medicinal and caffeine free. Do you mean Rooibos tea? Don't know if my spelling is correct. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1Str8 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It's not hype it's been around for a few hundred years. It's a very powerful antioxidant and antiinflammatory drink. If you drink the real green tea, that is. Not the commercial watered up version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaifoodruns Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Everywhere, I see people (both Thai and foreigners) drinking the so-called "green tea" that is extremely popular in Thailand. Even my wife came back home today with a bottle of green tea for me, "drink this, it's good for you and your health, it's tea". Just wondering, is there any campaign currently running to let Thais know that green tea is just a sugary drink with empty calories and no nutritional value? I think that's one of the main reason of obesity in the country and the #1 misrepresented drink around. Just food for thought.I buy the pre brewed ITO EN Green Tea unsweetened, no sugar, from Tops each bottle has about 60mg of caffeine And Raming Green Tea Organic leaves, which I boil myself I drink them as a source of caffeine, doesn't taste too bad, better than the caffeine tabs and less harsh on my prostate (suffer from prostatitis) Hope that helps Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly everything seems unsubstantiated in the eyes of ignorant beings who, without any basis, not only refuse to encourage others to take a healthier route because they do not possess the discipline to carry a healthy lifestyle themselves but go out of their way to debate facts. Naysayers, they say nay and that's all they say. Thank you for proving my point, keyboard warrior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been eating at Thai restaurants with the family and someone will encourage me to eat a particular soup or dish because the vegetables are good medicine. In most cases it appears to me that the more bitter the vegetables, the stronger medicine they supposedly provide. I look in wonder each new year as people spend a great deal of hard earned money buying those fancy wrapped holiday packages for other family members, which include a supply of small bottles of something that one is supposed to drink each day. When they gift someone a thirty day supply I am guessing that is supposed to inoculate that person for the rest of the year. To be fair, many Westerners are just as bad. Look at the silly concept of "super foods," people thinking taking huge amounts of vitamin C will cure their cold, and all those ridiculous diets ("Paleo," etc.)...and don't get me started on the absurd belief that we need to eat certain foods/drink certain drinks in order to "detox"....! Just saying, when it comes to food beliefs with absolutely no basis in science, many Westerners are right up there with Thais.

Let me guess, you don't live a healthy lifestyle ? Too many kilos to carry on ? It's easy to make fun of people who wants to take care of their body and live healthy . The diet is a part of it.

Chou Anou Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Haha, give it up, you don't know anything about me...and I'm not the issue here anyway. The issue is Westerners who believe in silly superstitions with no basis in science like "foods will detoxify your body," "food (or drink) will cut or melt fat off your body," etc. Does green tea contain antioxidants? Sure it does. But my point is, no food is "magic," and no food is a "superfood." I fail to see why that would upset you and cause you to try to attack my lifestyle (??? really--think about that for a second), which you know absolutely nothing about and which has no relevance to this discussion whatsoever...unless, of course, you believe in the superstitious nonsense I'm criticizing and you're trying to ignore the message and just attack the messenger. Someone commented on how Thais are superstitious when it comes to food, and I was merely pointing out that many Westerners are just as superstitious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) It was just a question , since you don't seem to believe in the effects of green tea. Super food I don't believe in that hype but I do believe in green tea. SO do you think the Japanese and Chinese were drinking "fake tea" for 1000's of years ? I think you can search for scientific articles online to prove youre wrong. Edited April 30, 2017 by balo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie the Minx Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 There is green tea ice cream here along with any brand of green tea imaginable to mankind. I love it for the taste and refreshment value when combined iced with peppermint, was in a KTV bar the other night and they were mixing it with Vodka but that's the Chinese.

tutsiwarrior Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) getting back to the pleasing taste of genmaicha or green tea with toasted rice went to foodland soi 5 in BKK the other day where they have 200g packs of loose tea with japanese on the package and in a little box in english: 'every day's genmaicha with uji matcha'...there's preparation instructions on the back in english... all 'superfood' considerations aside, if you've never had it try it, you'll like it...so pleasing in fact that if you drink alot and go on the wagon I've found it serves as an effective substitute/placebo...instead of mixing a drink when ye get outta bed make some genmaicha and then keep a pot goin' thruout the day...'every day's genmaicha'...

balo Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Matcha tea from Japan do have health benefits but the powder is expensive to buy here in Thailand. Still 1 kilo if you can find it costs around 1500 baht and will last for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
